Tips to stay safe in and around the water:

When the weather gets hot, our beaches, lakes, rivers and public and private swimming pools across the state become popular places to swim, paddle and have fun in the water. However, it's important to be aware of the risks of swimming in nature.

Top tips to stay safe in and around the water during the holidays:

Know the conditions. Know your limits.
Only swim where permitted.
Swim between the red & yellow flags at the beach
Do not swim by yourself.
Always wear a lifejacket when boating.
Never swim near waterfalls.
Do not jump off piers and jetties.
Observe all safety signage and barriers.
Always wear sunscreen
Always be supervised by an adult
Ensure children who cannot swim use well-fitted, approved life jackets.

Beaches may have hazards such as rips, strong undertows and sudden changes in weather conditions. Stay safe at the beach by only swimming where there are lifeguards and by staying in between the red and yellow flags.
